Just for Bulls fans reference, Shumpert, who did his ACL the same day as Rose, was cleared for full contact 5on5 on the 7th of Jan and made his return on Jan 17, so Rose could be back in under 2 weeks. Possibly.

No.
Let this Bulls team bust their usual nut in the regular season. Thibs has them on pace w/o Derrick for 50 wins.
Let Rose rest up towards the end of the season. That way if they bring him in for the playoffs, the Bulls have that new EXTRA gear that only the Heat have.
And we will have the element of surprise. Is he healthy? How will he mesh with the Bulls? Has he added an other skills?
It gives the Bulls and extra dimension they don't have right now, and it can take teams by surprise depending on how healthy Derrick is and how well he would be able to perform.
Hope he is back to 100% and continues to rape every elite PG in the league. His moves in the paint are so amazing to watch. 3-4 defenders will collapse in the post and he will still lay it in somehow.

When an unstoppable force collides with an immovable object, the supernova created by their clash is unpredictable. There can be only one.
Rose outperformed him in their 1st matchup of the 2010-2011 season. Tho OKC usually had their best defender on him (Thabo) and I specifically remember Rose crossing him up.

How good do you think he will be by playoff time if you don't bring him back when you can and gradually bring his minutes up? You can't bring him back just before the playoffs and expect him to be able to play 40 minutes straight up, need to ease him back, maybe from the allstar break.
